Dirty Takeaway Pictures Volume 3

Try Safran Persian restaurant on Kirkgate, cracking kebab for sober consumption, the setting is far from gourmet but always happy with the kebabs there.

Not been there in quite a while. Haftsin on Burley Rd do similar stuff in a nicer setting.

Standard late night parmo.

Talking of parmos, I turned 29 today so it seemed like a suitable way to celebrate...

[giblet]

We've always used plain flour in naans at home. I've noticed more takeaways using pre made naans from supermarkets and wholesalers. They also tend to sweat in the bag on the journey from the takeaway to your door and that doesn't help.

just think if your local takeaway gets their hands on that kind of packaging

Parmo in the top tray, munchie box in the middle one and then sides in the bottom. You could easily end up with a 7500 calorie box of fun.

They lose around 15% to just eat. He wants your direct business.

I wonder how profitable a good Chinese or Indian takeaway is in a busy spot?

JustEat take 20% off every single order. They also charge around £800 to a takeaway when they sign up for the hardware.

It is for some takeaways but I've spoken to a few owners who seemingly work on much smaller margins once all their costs are taken into account. One way around it was to charge a higher price for your food on JustEat and a low one on your paper menu for walk ins and phone orders. JustEat have clamped down on it recently. They've also stopped owners from running multiple shops from one machine.

Another issue a lot of takeaway owners are now having is that the tax man is now (rightfully) coming after them as all their transactions are on the books and they can no longer fiddle their accounts.

You're a good man Mr Roper, top work.

Doner for lunch is serious filth, I tip my hat to you sir.

I know chaps that eat donner for breakfast. Now that's a whole new level of filth.

[giblet]

My boss also owns a donner company hence the breakfast donners which are made from test batches. I refrain as I prefer chicken donner.

Been off work today as I was unwell. Figured something spicy would help my recovery so a hotshot parmo was ordered.



Lets see how I feel in the morning!

[giblet]

Same about the generic answer. All the KFC talk made me hungry so I got one last night and then remembered why I don't eat there that often -


Just under six quid for that!

for those of us round Leeds way, just a heads up , the Venus turkish supermarket at holbeck as well as doing brilliant take away babs etc also sell frozen istanbul donner meat, its bloody lovely , chop an onion microwave the meat and toast the naan a splash of your fave chilli and its better than the local takeaway !

you can get frozen Istanbul donner in larger sizes too.

Vaud said:

On Domestic Street?

Yup that's the one. Not been there in a while, might venture down this week. They do some nice baklava too.

Jesus that looks grim, I'll stick to my kebab shop chicken I think!

Aye. I much prefer the £1.20 wraps and mini burgers

ambuletz said:

That's why I don't bother with KFC much (as much as it's my favourite). KFC used to be a nice middle ground between McDs and BK in price, but was still nicer then McDs, especially with the variety that a box meal offers. But now it's as expensive as BK and BK are trying to be cheaper.

I just go to a good independant FC place instead.

I agree. My usual budget FC place always hits the spot and they do decent piri piri chicken at a reasonable price too.

[giblet]

I was in there earlier today. Grabbed a mixed kebab -



The donner seems to be the 5lb containers. Didn't get the price but I might be able to sort some out for cheaper if anyone wants some.

Mr Roper said:

Are you talking about the frozen pre-sliced (loose) donner or the pre-sliced block donner?

The stuff that was for sale in Venus was presliced loose. I can ask for a price on it either sliced or as a full elephant leg.

Late night burger

[giblet]

Light lunch from Venus in Leeds today -



Iskender kebab with sides. Had some baklava and a mint tea to wash it down later on.

craigjm said:

Doesnt look like an Iskander kebab to me. An Iskander is donner meat in at tomato sauce topped with lots of melted butter and yoghurt and is heart attack central....

Twas light on the sauce and opted for chilli and mint instead of the yogurt.

[giblet]

Let's get filthy then. Fish 'bab from last night.



Looks like ste but tastes awesome.
